La Chanson De Catherine(original) |
| Te voil marie, Catherine, |
| Sans joie et sans amour. |
| Celui que tu aimes, Catherine, |
| Est perdu pour toujours… |
| Qu’ils taient doux, les jours passs, |
| Mais quoi bon les voquer? |
| Un oiseau noir crie dans la nuit. |
| Hier, Catherine, tu as dit «oui» |
| Et maintenant, il faut danser. |
| Il faut danser… et oublier. |
| Pourquoi pleurer, la belle enfant? |
| Les violons jouent tendrement… |
| Te voil marie, Catherine, |
| Sans joie et sans amour. |
| Celui que tu aimes, Catherine, |
| Est perdu pour toujours… |
| Il est au bout de ton jardin, |
| Un trs vieux chne, o un garon |
| Avait jadis grav ton nom |
| Dans un seul coeur, auprs du sien. |
| Vois-tu, celui qui tu aimais, |
| Vois-tu, celui qui tant t’aimait… |
| Eh! |
| L’oiseau noir… Que me dis-tu? |
| C’est ce chne qu’il s’est pendu… |
| Te voil marie, Catherine, |
| Sans joie et sans amour. |
| Celui que tu aimes, Catherine, |
| Est perdu pour toujours… |
| Petite Catherine, demain matin, |
| Dans l’eau glace de ton chagrin, |
| Dans l’eau trange de la mer, |
| Tu flotteras, les yeux ouverts, |
| Les yeux ouverts sur ton destin |
| Et, dans ta robe de satin, |
| Juste o la mer se mle au ciel, |
| Tu rejoindras l’amant fidle… |
| Te voil marie, Catherine, |
| Marie avec l’amour… |
| Celui que tu aimes, Catherine, |
| Est toi pour toujours… |
| (translation) |
| There you are, Catherine, |
| Without joy and without love. |
| The one you love, Catherine, |
| Is forever lost... |
| How sweet the past days were, |
| But why mention them? |
| A black bird cries in the night. |
| Yesterday, Catherine, you said "yes" |
| And now we have to dance. |
| You have to dance... and forget. |
| Why cry, beautiful child? |
| The violins play tenderly... |
| There you are, Catherine, |
| Without joy and without love. |
| The one you love, Catherine, |
| Is forever lost... |
| He is at the end of your garden, |
| A very old oak tree, where a boy |
| Had once engraved your name |
| In one heart, with his own. |
| Do you see, the one you loved, |
| Do you see, the one who loved you so much... |
| Hey! |
| The black bird... What are you telling me? |
| It was on this oak that he hung himself... |
| There you are, Catherine, |
| Without joy and without love. |
| The one you love, Catherine, |
| Is forever lost... |
| Little Catherine, tomorrow morning, |
| In the frozen water of your sorrow, |
| In the strange water of the sea, |
| You'll float with your eyes open, |
| Eyes open to your destiny |
| And, in your satin dress, |
| Just where the sea meets the sky, |
| You will join the faithful lover... |
| There you are, Catherine, |
| Mary with love... |
| The one you love, Catherine, |
| Are you forever... |
